Gem & Jam returns to Tucson in less than two weeks, bringing its signature psychedelic energy back to the Pima County Fairgrounds. Throughout the first weekend of February, attendees can expect a diverse range of sounds—from grooving jam bands to gripping electronic music—spread across a thoughtfully curated lineup.
This year’s headliners include Clozee, TroyBoi, G Jones B2B Eprom, and Tycho. Following the festival’s 2025 cancellation, both newcomers and longtime fans are eager to experience the magic that has made Gem & Jam a staple of the Southwest festival circuit once again.
With a wide variety of genres represented across each day, Gem & Jam truly offers something for everyone. Experimental bass fans can expect nothing but greatness on opening day, with artists like WonkyWilla, The Widdler, and Lumasi setting the tone through rolling basslines, funky grooves, and fantastic sound design.
By day two, the festival hits full stride as heavy hitters Cool Customer and Mr. Bill bring the bass. G Jones and EProm’s highly anticipated B2B presents an opportunity to experience their collaborative EP, ‘Disk Utility,’ live. Devault transports the crowd with cinematic soundscapes, while Nala and J. Worra inject a dose of spunky house into the mix.
Day three delivers yet another can’t-miss slate of performances. Festivalgoers should make plans to catch Ivy Lab’s DnB set, as the collective is expected to wrap up in the coming year. Yheti goes B2B with Toadface before linking up with DJ trio Lespecial for an additional set as their collective project, “Liminoid.”
Gem & Jam brings more than electrifying sound to Pima County Fairgrounds. In addition to its incredibly immersive venue and atmosphere, the festival offers an outlet for all kinds of artistic expression.
Attendees can explore spiritual workshops, live painting, interactive art installations, and small-business vendors throughout the weekend—making Gem & Jam just as much about creativity and community as it is about sound.
Relentless Beats hosts Gem & Jam 2026 at the Pima County Fairgrounds from February 6–8. Early entry campers may begin setting up on February 5 at 4 p.m., with general camping opening February 6 at 9 a.m.
